What do you think? I need opinions!





I've been busy making these headbands for my girls and I am enjoying it so much, that I thought maybe I should start making a bunch to sell at trade shows. Before I jump into that though, I want opinions on whether or not you would stop and want to buy any of these if you saw them at a trade show and if you feel that $5.00 would be a fair price for each. Don't worry about being honest, I want to know your thoughts! :)

Thanks so much for your help!

PWCO Colour Challenge # 5

This was the first card and my favorite of the ones I made for the PaperWorks Challenges. This one was made using Janet's colour choices of blue and white. I used one of the Rachelle Anne Miller stamps called Flaky Friends.

Jellypark Friends Challenges - Christmas in July

PWCO Colour Challenge # 4

Still playing along with the PaperWorks Challenges and this card was made using Danielle's colours (White, Gold & Wine). I used Zach the basketball player for this card.

PWCO Colour Challenge # 3

Here's the card I made for Corinne's colour challenge (Pink, Orange & Pistachio) over at PaperWorks. I used one of their cute Abigail stamps.

PWCO Colour Challenge # 8

PaperWorks just had their newest release and each DT member posted a colour challenge based on their choice in wedding colours. I got busy playing along, and this is what I came up with for Steph's challenge. She wanted us to use purple, black and white. I decided to make a bookmark using Zoe the Zebra. You can tell I was tired at this point because, it's pretty plain and my brain couldn't come up with a way of making it look better. It was after 1am when I made this and it was the last of the 4 projects I made last night.

Happy Birthday to My 4 year old!


Today is my son's birthday and he's turning 4! He requested a card with a purple dinosaur, so here's what I created for him. While I was at it, I decided to cater to a few challenges and one of them was to use a technique that I hadn't done in a while and so I chose to play with my brayer. I haven't used that in a year or more, but I really like how the background turned out. I coloured the image, which is another adorable fairy stamp from Paper Makeup Stamps called Carter the Dino fairy, with Copics.

Bright and Sunny Abigail


I had a chance to make a card tonight so I decided to play with one of my Abigail stamps from PaperWorks Co. The one I used is called "He Loves Me?". I also played along with one of their recipe challenges for this month. The great thing about the PaperWorks challenges are that even though new challenges get posted every week, you still get the whole month to complete any of the challenges! The sketch I used is this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketches.

Copics Used:
E000, E00, E11, E97, E99, G28, G24, R20, RV10, RV21, RV23, RV25, Y00, Y02, Y04, Y11, Y21

School Girl Fairy


I wanted to play along in the Paper Makeup Challenge from the release party and I got a chance to create last night. I decided to CASE one of Janette's cards. I used School Girl Fairy for this card and plan to use it for one of my kids teachers next year. I coloured her with Copics and added stickles to her wings to make them sparkle.

Another bookmark

I made this bookmark for my daughter. She requested an image of a fairy holding a flower and so I used this lovely stamp from Paper Makeup Stamps called Rose Fairy.

Bookmark for my Nephew

This is nothing fancy, but since it's a bookmark I figured it wouldn't be practical to add too many embellishments to it. I made this for my nephew using "Dylan" from Paper Makeup Stamps. They just had a new release and posted a couple challenges, and one of the challenges was to create something with a nautical theme.

I'm on a roll!


I coloured this Spesch image a long time ago and finally got a chance to make it into a card. It's coloured with copics and I added Stickles to the wings and Smooch to the crown. I also put a few pearls on the crown.

Birthday Fairy

I made a birthday card for my stash last night and I used Birthday Lauren from Paper Makeup Stamps. I coloured her with Copics and embellished the wings with stickles. I entered this card in the following challenges:
